I suggest that you change your environment and leave the apartment at times simply because there is such recognition of the symptoms within the apartment, and the change is beneficial. The breaking of habit patterns is beneficial, but this should involve a spontaneous, pleasant adventure.

In all cases emphasis on suggestions must be upon health and vitality. To concentrate upon a hand for example to see whether or not a suggestion has taken hold, is hardly beneficial. Ruburt is now at the stage where he has freed considerable energy, and this must now be utilized in constructive activity, and not to reinforce symptoms.

It will be highly advantageous now for him to renew projection attempts. His enthusiasm is returning as far as his work is concerned. This is automatically beneficial. Nightly suggestions should deal now with general health and vitality, and with pictures of anticipation for the following day’s activities.

When he does not believe his muscles will work, he will not put full strength upon them, for example, and physically weakens the muscle. He must work upon his attitude. He must concentrate in other areas. Music can be extremely beneficial. Dancing can be of great therapeutic benefit. Not, however, when he concentrates upon his symptoms.

[...] Witnesses however are beneficial for the development of his own confidence, and the development of his own confidence facilitates the development of his abilities.

There will be a period of relaxation following the completion of his book, and during this time there will be a release of psychic energy that he will use most beneficially. [...]

[...] It will indeed be beneficial for you both to suggest to your subconscious that it enable you to develop your psychic abilities, and then consciously forget the matter.

Reasonable daily exposure to the sun is physically beneficial to him, and symbolically beneficial, in the sense that the sun is light.

The breaking up of patterns is also beneficial, and is of course one of the reasons I suggest your vacation.

The vacation falling between and breaking up, you see, the nursery school pattern and the remainder of the summer, will be most beneficial. [...]

[...] It would be particularly beneficial before sleeping, massaged in or before swimming. [...]

[...] (Smile, eyes open.) Some beneficial projection is going on here also for a change, as Ruburt psychically projects outward the last of important inner disturbances onto the ghost images, which are then completely, altered into constructive and healthy images.

[...] Therefore the alteration for the better represents his realization of a more beneficial relationship, and gives him a hand in it—represents his willingness to make necessary inner alterations also.

[...] The spontaneity is finding beneficial release. [...]

In like manner, the visit of your young friend will also be beneficial (Peter Murtough, from Chula Vista, CA) and the visit of your Boston friend (Pat Norelli). [...]

[...] The massager is very beneficial now, for his body is pliable enough now to respond—but more, as he used it recently the intent to relax is there. [...]

[...] And muscles can cause a sinking sensation that is quite natural, and a beneficial sign that should be psychologically interpreted as such.

[...] The draining is beneficial. [...]

[...] Be aware, however, of the sudden reassurances from Framework 2. (Also at Prentice)—The news program invitation (from ABC), which places you in a context, however small, of national interest—an invitation that you did not court; these, plus many excellent letters of late, should show you of course the beneficial aspects of your work that you can at times overlook (with irony). [...]

[...] In its own fashion such acts of love are beneficially related with the spontaneous behavior of animals. [...]

Your morning discussion, concerning Ruburt’s past, was also beneficial, for it is good to remind yourselves of your own (underlined) backgrounds, rather than ever comparing yourselves with other people whose own backgrounds may have little to do with yours. [...]

Love-making, like dreams, returns you to yourselves, and initiates beneficial Framework-2 activity. [...]

Ruburt’s classes will do well (very true, July 1971), and will serve as a natural spontaneous and beneficial outlet for his aggressions. These have built up for some time; will now be released beneficially, for all concerned, in springs of enthusiasm and energy directed outward through the teaching encounter.

The tree, or trees, Ruburt had painted on the kitchen wall, were not beneficial symbols. [...]

This is always beneficial for him, particularly on a troublesome area of the body. [...]

I realize it is difficult to understand at times, but even your so-called mistakes have many far-reaching beneficial results that do not show in any isolated fashion. [...] They may be applied beneficially in entirely different areas of your life—so stop disapproving of yourself, of your “mistakes.” [...]

[...] The massage that you gave Ruburt briefly this afternoon, in the neck areas, is extremely beneficial—not only to his entire condition, but specifically beneficial to his sight. [...]

You are both doing very well, and Ruburt’s dream—the one in which he looked at his face in a mirror—was excellent, and already shows a change of belief that will be most beneficial. [...]

This sort of growth allows also for the development of inner discipline, that will grow simultaneously with inner spontaneity; and a screening process of sorts develops that is indeed beneficial for your own protection. [...]

(In the 278th session for Monday, August 8,1966, Seth said: “An event in a week and a half, that will be beneficial for you both.” [...]

Margarine, however, although a dairy product, is beneficial in this context. [...]

[...] These past episodes, again, have been beneficial to you both. [...]

[...] He told himself that the prediction might be wrong, and he began with his intellect to pile up evidence that could in one way or another bring about a different, more beneficial experience. [...] He used the same process, only for a more beneficial picture, and the process works. [...]

[...] The additional moving about, however, from one place to another, is most beneficial. The sensations in his buttocks of heat, even burning at times, and in the legs and feet, all represent additional motion and beneficial activity. [...]

[...] There is no doubt of the beneficial overall readjustments. [...] Those hip areas are now beginning to release to accommodate; the hips and knees are learning to work together again in the changing beneficial situations.

There seems to be a male relative, I believe twice removed, perhaps an uncle, though I am not certain—a visit from him would be beneficial. [...]

If possible she should be taken out into the sun, and the peanut oil will be even more beneficial if it is used then. [...]

[...] The room has beneficial connotations for her. [...]

If these instructions concerning a beneficial change in mental environment are not taken, then indeed no other advice or medicine will be of help. [...]

[...] The latest series, so to speak, of necessary adjustments are occurring, so that again the relationship between neck and shoulders, with the hips and knees, are beneficially altered. [...]

[...] Before you sleep remind yourself that extra energy will be available, and that you can use it for a beneficial dream experience of your choice. [...]

[...] So those kinds of changes are in the air, so that many of the connections you have made in many areas will click together in another fashion, more beneficially, and more purposefully.

Those changes automatically, again, and quite effortlessly, reach out into those other areas of your lives, for fear does not then hold back beneficial developments.

With a changed attitude, however, you will be able to follow those distractions’ “transformations”—that is, you will be able to glimpse how this distraction ends up in that insight, or how that distraction actually initiated a beneficial event, when in the past, everything seemed unrelated. [...]

[...] Illness is sometimes in the overall, however, beneficial. A given illness, that is, may be beneficial. [...]

[...] It is obvious therefore that less energy is available to the personality for actions more beneficial to the personality system as a whole.

For we will be involved here with a definite classification as to when an illness is beneficial and when it is detrimental. [...]

We will, then, later discuss the manner in which the difference can be seen between a beneficial illness, and a severely detrimental one. [...]
